I’ve been getting back into reading and while nothing will beat a physical book, having a device with multiple EPUBS seems like a good way to save space and money. After a bit of searching, I’m down to two options: Kobo (specifically the Libra Colour) and Boox (specifically the Go Color 7). I’ve discarded tablets because they’re just a larger phone and thus blue light-induced eye strain. I’ve also discarded the Kindle because of Amazon’s business practices. I known that Kindles can jailbroken (which I wouldn’t mind doing) and I could buy one second-hand on eBay but I prefer to give my money towards a better competitor.
Which one do you think is better? Have you used their previous e-readers? How do they compare?
Thanks in advance!
We have a Kobo Clara and a Pocketbook Touch Lux 5 in our house. Neither are color so I can’t speak to that, but both are usable offline with wired file transfer support, which was our main requirement. And decent privacy. Though I can’t speak to Boox, I will be considering another Kobo if the Pocketbook ever dies.
